Abstract

We report and analysed 20 patents with BLEPHAROSPASM and HEMIFACIALSPASM who had been treated with botulinum A toxin (BTA) injection between 1996 and 1998. The 20 Patients comprised 13 Females and 7 males. Their mean age was 50 years (SD:±12). 16 patients had idiopathic BLEPHAROSPASM and 4 patients were diagnosed with HEMIFACIALSPASM. The mean duration of suffering was 20 months. Each patient received 120 IU of BTA Injections according to the standard pattern.The results of BTA injection were classified as: excellent result (an improvement of more than 75%) in 45%; a good response (an improvement of 50-75%) in 35%; a moderate response (an improvement of 25%-50%) in 15% and a minimal or no response in 5%. The complications of BTA injection were transient minimal ptosis, dyplopia and lacrimation.In one case notably ptosis appeared.The efficacy of BTA injection lasted 2-3 months. And more often needed to repeat the injections (12 patients).These patients follow up for 1 years after last injection; there were not seen recurrence of symptoms in most of them.Conclusion: BTA injection is a simple and effective out-patient treatment for patients with BLEPHAROSPASM, causing no side effects and minor transient local complications.
